Hi hope,

Has your Dr. suggested Lyrica for nerve pain? I don't know if that is an addictive drug, so some research or questions for your Dr. are a good idea.

And when dealing with inflammation in a joint, in the spine, ice is the only option IMO. Heat brings in blood which causes inflammation. Heat might be ok to use on a muscle, but not on any joints or the back. Again, just my opinion.

Hope you get some relief.

Joe

Thanks, @heyjoe415
I have never tried Lyrica but can ask my doctors. What type of doctor typically prescribes this medication? When I last saw my neurologist, he never suggested anything for my nerve pain after I told him I can’t take gabapentin due to it causing dizziness.

I’ve is a good option for joint swelling. My teenage sone dislocated his pinky finger and the joint is still swollen. I’ll tell him he should keep icing it (it is a couple of weeks since he first injured his finger).
